Literally everybody in the universe has played around with the fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood. And why shouldn’t they have? It’s a tale TEEMING with iconic imagery and an awesome violent ending to boot.

So I thought I’d try my hand at it. Let’s be real: if you came across a big talking wolf, you’d slither your way into a wild pact with… Read more »

For my senior thesis, I have been developing a 32-page children’s book that (if everything goes as planned, fingers crossed) I’ll have completed by the Senior Show. While I don’t wish to display any of the full illustrations, here is a preview of my latest piece! The Muesli family casually enjoys lunch in the library. – Brenna Thummler

Here is my most recent piece for Illustration class. As the assignment was “open”, I decided to redesign the cover of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are.
